Training on EcoFilter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Training on EcoFilter
Venue : Houay Pano MSEC environmental observatory,Luang Prabang, Lao
Date :16 to 20 june 2014
Objectives of the training
- to provide new scientific knowledge on the filtration of overland flow ("grey water") by soil and
the vegetation along hill slopes and the riparian zone in tropical agro-ecosystems.
The research will be conducted in three converging scientific fields: (1) comparative study of
the hydrological behaviour of studied catchments (i.e. overland flow genesis, groundwater
inflows…) during storm and inter-storm periods; (2) Estimate the exports of carbon in
dissolved, particulate and gaseous forms at the outlet of the catchments, and quantification of
the amounts trapped in the riparian zone depending on the vegetation cover types; (3) Study
the dissemination during floods of free and particle-bound faecal contaminants (i.e. E coli).
- to train national colleagues from Thailand, Laos and Vietnam on the research methodologies
implemented during the project and their interpretation (i.e. water flows and water quality
measurements)
